Edited to add-
HEY!! This stuff is FOR SALE! If you think I'm too high, make an offer via PM.
I won't take offense.


It has occurred to me that at my age and health level I should start selling off some of the S&W stuff I have accumulated over the years. Some of these items are from my dealer inventory, but many will be from my personal stash. Some will be scarce items you won't see very often.
I'll add items when I have time, so check back often.
I accept:
USPS Money Orders. NO other Money Orders.
Certified or Cashier's Checks
Paypal
Personal checks if you don't mind waiting for them to clear. If you are an SWCA member or I know you, there is no delay on personal checks. If mailing payment, include a note stating what you bought.
All prices include shipping and Insurance. TELL ME if you want a signature required if $500 or below. Above $500 a signature is automatically required.
I do not ship items without insurance.
I offer the normal right to return if not satisfied as long as condition remains the same. Return shipping is on you unless I omitted critical data. Inform me within 24 hours of receipt of acceptance or rejection.
I reserve the right to abstain from doing business with anyone I desire to abstain from doing business with.
Ask questions and make offers via PM. I will not be online constantly, so "I'll take it" trumps offers made via PM, even if the offer is made before the "I'll take it" is posted. Post "I'll take ____" including item number and send me a PM to handle details.

1. SOLD Keith Brown N Frame Magnas, Pre-War style. They are as-new and have not been used. You can see that they are gorgeous walnut. The medallions are original Factory S&W 1/2" in exceptional condition which I supplied to Keith myself. They are shown on a well used .357 Reg Mag. $500 SOLD
.
.
2. SOLD Baby Chief & I Frame Magnas. Ser # 448. These are shorter than post-1953 grips. If your gun does not have a screw in front of the trigger guard, they are NOT for your gun. Minor dings on bottom. No cracks or chips. A light coat of linseed oil would improve them, but I have done nothing to them. DIFFICULT to find! $150 SOLD
.
.
3. SOLD 38 M&P Box. A gold box correct for the late 40s and early 50s, proper for Transition guns and the following short action 5 screw guns. One of the best and brightest M&P boxes I have seen. It will be very difficult to upgrade. All corners are intact. Very minor wear. The serial number on the bottom has worn almost completely off. I can barely see traces of it, so I can't tell you what it is. $250 $200 $160 SOLD






.
.
4. SOLD Model 1926 (44-3rd) Transition Box. For the Post-War Transition 44-3rd Models. Clean and bright with solid corners. All folded edges show some mild wear. I cannot see any trace of a number or any other writing on bottom. A very decent box that will be hard to upgrade. Slightly better than #5 below. $375 $335 $290 SOLD
.
.
5. Model 1926 (44-3rd) Transition Box. For the Post-War Transition 44-3rd Models. Clean and bright with solid corners. All folded edges show some mild wear. I cannot see any trace of a number or any other writing on bottom. Not quite as nice as #4 above, but still a very decent box. $350 $315 $275





.
.
6. SOLD N Frame Pre-War Magnas. This very early set is among the finest I have ever seen. They never had a number and have not been used. Till I acquired them many years ago, they had never been on a gun. Notice they do not have the patent dates on the circles. I believe they are some of the earliest made, and have a very low gloss satin finish that is original. I bought them quite a while back from a man in his 80s that had found them in a drawer while cleaning out the house of his older, deceased friend! There is a tiny sliver off the right horn, and a tiny ding near the right toe. See the pics. $875 $810 $750 SOLD
.
.
7. SOLD N Frame Pre-War Large Medallion Service Grips. A nice pair with no chips, cracks, or dings worth mentioning. They fit the pre-war frame that I put them on superbly. Some plating loss on right medallion, left is much better. $325 SOLD
.
.
8. SOLD N Frame Pre-War Non-Medallion Service Grips. Ser # 27312. An extremely nice pair with no chips, cracks, or dings worth mentioning. See the pics. They fit the pre-war frame that I put them on superbly. You probably won't ever be able to upgrade these.$350 $295 $255 SOLD
.
.
9. SOLD N Frame Pre-War Gold Medallion Service Grips. Ser # 20646. Correct for all but the earliest Triple Locks, 455-2nd Models, and the very earliest 44-2nd Models. No cracks or
chips. Some mild dings. See the pics. A very decent set of grips. $300 SOLD
.
.
10. SOLD Model 1917 Early Dished Grips. Ser # 31. These have the fanciest wood I have ever seen on 1917 grips. No cracks or chips. Some mild dings. See the pics. A very decent set of grips that you will probably never be able to upgrade. $300 SOLD
.
.
11. SOLD N Frame Diamond Walnut Target Grips. A few very mild dings on bottom edges. No other problems. You'll never do much better. $300 SOLD
.
.
12. SOLD N Frame EARLY Dished Top Service Grips. These concave top grips were only made for the early 44 Triple Locks. I have only seen two pairs of these for sale in my life, and I bought them both! As you see, some idiot wrote the number of the 38/44 he had them on on back of right one. That same grip has 3650 scratched in the correct location for the Factory number. Condition is excellent. No cracks, no chips. Very minor dings. EXTREMELY hard to find! $750 SOLD
.
.
13. SOLD N Frame EARLY Dished Top Service Grips. Ser # 3539. These concave top grips were only made for the early 44 Triple Locks. I have only seen two pairs of these for sale in my life, and I bought them both! A decent pair with one small chip on top left panel. Very nice otherwise. See the pics. $650 SOLD

.
.
15. SOLD Keith Brown N Frame Ropers. For Post-War guns. I am 99% sure Keith said these are Rosewood, and I think Keith said Colombian. The Diamonds are Ebony. New, never used. No problems. Anything you see on them is dust. The only reason I am selling these gorgeous grips is they are a tad large for my hand. They are fabulous! $575 SOLD
.
.
16. SOLD Factory K Frame Square Butt Combats. Rosewood. Dated Dec 20, 1991. Nice Bookend Grain. New, never used. Tiny spots of finish flaking in lower two fingergrooves look far worse in the pic than in your hand. They are hardly visible. I did not see them till I reviewed the pics! Gorgeous! $325 SOLD
.
.
17. SOLD Factory N Frame Square Butt Combats. Goncalo Alves. Dated Jun 2?, 1989. These N frame combats were not manufactured very many years. Nice Bookend grain. New, never used. Flawless. Anything you see on them is dust. Gorgeous! $325 $300 $275 SOLD

.
.
21. SOLD Factory N Frame Round Butt Combats. Morado Wood. No Date. Nice Bookend grain. These Morado N frame combats were not manufactured very many years and were only used on a very few models. Very hard to find. New, never used, FLAWLESS. Anything you see on them is dust. Pretty grips. $385 SOLD
.
.
22. SOLD N Frame Diamond Walnut Target Grips. Very decent grips with a few very mild dings on bottom and frontstrap area and a chip at left heel. Solid, no cracks. Really worth having a good repair done. $200 SOLD
.
.
23. SOLD STERLING Silver Last Cartridge Belt Buckle. 1000 of The Last Cartridge (should have been CTG) were made. This is # 72. Never worn. Buckle and Walnut case are mint. White sleeve is intact with age darkening. Gross weight of buckle is 115 g. Think of how much food or ammo you can trade this for when The Apocalypse comes! $325 SOLD
.
.
24. SOLD Ivory Mod 59 Grips. Elephant Ivory. I think these will also fit some 5900 series pistols in the 3rd Gen, but check me out on that before buying! Mild scratches here and there. NO cracks, chips, or other problems. The beautiful scrimshaw is signed "Jessie Ghere 1986". She is a noteworthy artist. You can read about her here- Jessie Ghere, Artist, Sculptor, Musician and her website is here- jessiegherefeather.com (I guess she married). $325 $290 $250 SOLD The scrimshaw would cost $250, so the grips are free!

27. SOLD N Frame Target Grips. Goncalo Alves. Solid grips, no cracks, no chips, a couple of mild handling marks. Plain wood, so only $105 SOLD
.
.
28. SOLD S&W Limited Edition Dress Belt Buckle SET. Set of 3 Buckles for the 135th Anniversary in 1987. Only 1000 of each buckle were made and they were sold individually. All three of these are # 273. They are gold plated. In my opinion, these are the classiest buckles they ever made. These are for Dress Belts. Belt Loop is 1-3/8" wide. The buckles measure app. 2-3/8" X 1-13/16". The quarter is shown for size comparison. Quarter not included. Buckles are fine, boxes are solid. The clear tops are darkening with age. The foam is aging and will probably deteriorate, so you should remove it! $130 SOLD

Some Data on Pearl Grips: First, they are hard to photograph. They never look the same in pics as they do in hand. It is alomost impossible to capture the depth, swirls, and iridescence of the mother of pearl. In short, they always look better than the pics! Some pearl grips acquire a slightly yellow tint as they age. Most of that yellowing is on the surface- probably caused by gun oil, and the oil and acids and salt in the hands that have held them. Much of that yellowing can be polished off with super fine abrasives in the 1000-1200 grit range, or even with polishes like Wenol Red and probably Flitz. This is not heresay because I have done it. Some yellowing appears to occur internally on some pearls. It happens in the softer, "pulpier" layers of the nacre- the layers that look the cloudiest when you look at pearls. I assume light exposure may cause some of it, or perhaps it is just age. If grips have yellowed at all, they will appear yellower in the pics that they will in your hand. Oftentimes you will see yellow in the pics, but none when in hand. Nacre is built up in layers only a few thousandths thick. It can flake along those layers. Pearl grips can never have the tight fit that wood grips have. If they did, they would chip, flake, or break at the top circles against the frame, or shatter at the bottom pin. It is a somewhat brittle substance. The looser fit causes pearls to wiggle to some degree sometimes. Over tightening the screw to prevent the wiggle can obviously break them. So, the oldtimers had a few tricks to belay that movement. I have removed pearl grips from really old guns and found newspaper or brown paper (paper sack?) cut to exactly the shape of the grip sandwiched between the grip and the frame. Another trick I've observed is a layer of beeswax on the gripstraps to cushion the pearls and prevent the wiggle. This is an excellent remedy that protects the gun and the grips. I've also seen heavy grease used, but the wax is a better choice, IMO.

29. SOLD Pearl K Frame Grips #1. Square Butt. Vintage pair that may be cut down N frame grips. They overhang the frame SLIGHTLY all around. That gives you the potential to fit them to your gun precisely. They will work fine and look good as they are. Beautiful pearl with no problems beyond a couple of mild scratches, a couple of TINY dings, and a micro chip on top edge- all on the left panel. NICE color with good depth and lots if iridescence. Shown on an M&P from 1910. PRETTY grips! $135 $105 $85 SOLD

Again, these are very pretty grips. $145 $110 $85









.
.
32. SOLD Factory Pearl K Frame Round Butt Grips. Early 1900s. A fabulous pair of grips! The pics don't do them justice. Nice color- very little yellowing despite how the pics look. Lots of depth and swirls that just don't photograph well. EXTREMELY hard to find. No cracks or chips. Natural tiny pores on top left. There is a natural hollow on the lower right that is NOT a chip. They really enhance a gun. Put them on your gun and you won't send them back. $650 $595 $550 SOLD
.
.
33. Baby Chief & 32 Hand Ejector (I Frame) Pearls. These are shorter than post-1953 grips. If your I Frame or Chief Special does not have a screw in front of the trigger guard, they are NOT for your gun. This size also fits any round butt 5 screw I frame and these Top Breaks:
38 Single Actions
38 Double Actions

.
.
37. SOLD Pearl 32 Safety Hammerless Grips. Vintage pair with good color. They are whiter than they look in the pics. LOTS of depth and iridescence. No cracks or chips. Any lines you see are layer lines in the nacre. A very pretty pair of grips you will be pleased with. $200 $155 $115 SOLD
.
.

.
.
41. SOLD Factory Bo-Mar Silhouette Sight Kit. A sight kit made by the old Bo-Mar company for S&W and sold by S&W. Very scarce! I tried Googling it and I cannot find a single reference or pic!

I included a couple of pics showing how the interchangeable front sight works using no tools. Let me know if you find any data. $175 SOLD

There is a tear at one thumb notch. It was once taped shut and the tape remains. One corner on the top is loose, and the other corner on that end is glued in place. Still a very presentable display. $310 $225 $190 SOLD

48. SOLD Factory Dymondwood K & L Round Butt Combats. There has been some discussion of these DYMONDWOOD grips here on the forum. It was apparently a very short lived venture by S&W as "The Smith & Wesson Handgun Grip Co." NOTE the Factory address on the package and the Factory phone number stamped on the grips themselves.
